Lean & TPM (TPM³) is a holistic journey to World Class Performance incorporating the principles and practices of Lean Production and will impact positively on the overall performance of the company.
Our experience over many years has demonstrated the process required to successfully introduce TPM³ such that it will be sustaining and achieve the desired results involves four key phases ...

Awareness & Preparation (2-3 weeks) initial education and the development of an Introduction Strategy supported by a briefing to all employees

Demonstration & Learning (9-12 months) introduction of the core pillars to several (typically 4) pilot areas to gain a greater understanding of the issues and have a positive impact on performance

Assessment & Planning (4-9 weeks) development of a implementation plan based on the learnings to date

Implementation Phase cascading of Lean throughout the business

However, we have also learnt that the methodology used must be structured yet flexible enough to ensure the key issues of:

• how do we get senior management involved so they actually understand TPM³ by participating in the Formal Continuous Improvement Activities;
• how do we engage all employees to contribute and participate in TPM³ recognising ultimately everyone needs to be involved;
• how do we ensure existing improvement initiatives are integrated into the TPM³ Journey or visa versa; and
• how do we ensure your company develops the in-house capability to sustain TPM³ by adequately training key employees to lead and facilitate the journey, are adequately addressed.
